[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 622975, member: 17542"] Hi Elmo, wow, you are really going through it. I am sorry. I can hear your despair. I'm not sure of your whole situation but if I am understanding correctly, your adult son is using drugs and has been in trouble a lot because of drugs and his behavior. It sounds like the craziness is completely out of control right now, and you are on the verge of losing your whole life---your husband, other child and your sanity. It sounds like you are sick and tired. If you are ready to change, Elmo, I believe you already know what to do as you have been reading some recommended literature and you have been reading and posting on this board for a while. It's really up to you. You have control over your own life (and nothing else). What do you want to do? In my opinion, I would immediately stop the situation of being run out of my own house. If I had to call the police to do it, I would. You need time and space and rest with your husband and younger child, so you can think of what you want to do and how and when. I would write it down as my head clears and my basic needs are taken care of. Elmo, there is never a reason for an adult person to terrorize another adult person. That is against the law, and that is wrong. If that is going on, that has to stop. Now. I am sorry your son is crying and sorry and is hungry. It sounds like he created that situation. I would focus on my husband and younger son first. They would be my first priority. I hope I don't sound harsh. I don't mean to. I am sure you love your difficult child very much and are just sick at heart over these developments. However, it sounds like you are in an extreme situation and you have to take first steps. I would do that, Elmo, and then go from there. My best to you today. Wishing you hope and strength and courage and energy to do whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
